How to Get the Most From a Wood Burner Fireplace

In contrast to traditional open fireplaces, wood stoves are designed and optimised to burn wood. This enables them to comply with stricter emission regulations.

Wood burning stoves emit dancing yellow flames and cosy crackling sounds. They also provide an incredibly warm feeling. The smoke that is generated is filled with harmful air pollutants such as benzene, formaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Efficient

Fireplaces and stoves that burn wood offer a stunning and natural heat source to the home, and they are extremely efficient. A high-quality wood burner can be eco-friendly up to 77%. With the rising cost of energy, it is essential to make sure you're getting the maximum benefits from your log burner - the good news is that this is much simpler than ever before!

One of the most important factors in the effectiveness of the wood-burning stove is in the moisture content of the firewood. This is the reason we suggest only using seasoned wood that has been dried for a minimum of one year, and more often two years. The more dry the wood, the better it burns. This means lesser smoke and fewer harmful emissions.

Another great benefit of a wood burning stove is that it's a low carbon source of fuel, which is fantastic for the environment. In addition, by buying locally-sourced firewood, you're helping to promote the active management of woodlands which is a wonderful option for wildlife.

In terms of maintenance involved, the sole requirement for a wood burner is to frequently scoop up and dispose of the ash. It can be a bit of a nuisance, but it is worth it to ensure you get the maximum heat from each and every log. Additionally, if you wait 2-3 days for the ashes to fully cool they can be used as a non-toxic and eco-friendly ice melt. They can be used to polish jewelry and absorb the odors.

A fireplace with a wood burner is a timeless classic. Although they're less popular than gas fires, there is no denying the charm and appeal of a roaring log fire.

Wood burners that burn cleanly and efficiently are the most effective way to save money while keeping your home warm. They also aid local woodland management. This is a great method to support the wildlife that lives in your neighborhood.

When properly maintained wood-burning stoves and fireplaces emit little or no pollution when they are operated with seasoned and dry firewood. However, when they are not maintained properly or are using wood of poor quality the smoke that is produced by them contains fine particles (known as particulate pollution) that can irritate the lung and other organs. It also contains carbon monoxide as well as harmful air pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling air pollution can cause irritation of the lung and lead to asthma attacks, wheezing, coughing and lung irritation. It may also cause heart disease, cancer or premature death.

Many people are concerned that using a wood-burning stove could contribute to climate change, but this is not necessarily true. Burning wood is a carbon neutral energy source. Throughout the lifetime of a tree it absorbs carbon dioxide and when it is burned, the carbon dioxide absorbed is released back into the atmosphere.

Since the wood is sourced locally, it reduces the amount of pollutants released when it is transported. It is also important to select high-quality, seasoned hardwoods as these will provide an extended and more consistent burn than softwoods.

Modern wood stoves, such as the ones manufactured by Charlton & Jenrick, emit much less pollution than older stoves. They have been tested and certified to meet 2020 EPA standards which are considerably more stringent than the previous emission limits.

To avoid a build up of exhaust inside your home, all wood-burning stoves must be vented completely to the outside. All of our DEFRA-exempt and clean-burn stoves produce very clear exhaust by keeping the flames in the vicinity of the wood logs and using dry, seasoned firewood.

A wood-burning stove with a hybrid unit or catalytic converter is the best low carbon solution for heating. These units re-ignite gases and particles released from the initial combustion in a second phase by mixing them with superheated air. The remaining gases and particulates are then transported through a catalytic combustion unit for a final third combustion. This further reduces emissions to levels far below the standards set by the government.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are engineered to burn fuel with the highest efficiency possible. This results in the release of very small particles into air when burning wood. The stove's air management system regulates the intake and venting of gases, making sure that the combustion process occurs in a closed, controlled environment. It also regulates flame height to maximize the output of heat and reduce emissions.

This means that your chimney and the surrounding area will be much cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter, also known as particle pollution, from incompletely burned wood can cause respiratory issues, such as coughing and wheezing. It can also contribute to heart diseases as well as stroke, diabetes and other serious conditions. The smoke from wood combustion is an element that contributes to poor urban air quality.

The smoke that is emitted from poorly combusted wood contains fine particulate pollution and hazardous air pollutants, including carbon monoxide volatile organic compounds nitrogen oxides, benzene formaldehyde and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These particles can reach deep into the lungs and other organs and cause discomfort, damage and even death. Dust particles from the air can also damage the surfaces of your home and create the impression of a rough surface to rooms.

It is essential to use only good quality, seasoned and dried firewood for your fireplace with a wood burner. The most efficient woods for heating are hardwoods, such as oak, ash and beech. Hardwoods are dense and have a more BTU than softwoods. They also provide more heat.

Check with your local authority to determine if they have any rules about wood burning. These may include rules on odors and nuisances and visible emissions or smoke opacity restrictions.

If you have a wood stove with a glass door, it's important to keep the glass free of grime and deposits. This can be done with a dry cloth or oven cleaner spray. You can also add bicarbonate soda mixed with water to the glass.

Regular maintenance is essential for your chimney and stove. This includes regular chimney cleanings to eliminate creosote and ensure the proper functioning of your flue. Also, make sure you mark dates for regular inspections in your calendar, as this will help you avoid costly repairs and prolong the longevity of your wood burner.

Low Maintenance

Many people choose to install wood burning fireplaces due to the natural warmth they create. This kind of fireplace needs some maintenance and upkeep. The chimney, flue and stove can all be the cause of house fires if not cleaned and maintained regularly. These fireplaces also provide heat in the event of power outage, especially during winter storms, when branches of trees may fall and power lines may be knocked down.

Utilizing a wood burner for heating will reduce your carbon footprint significantly compared to other fossil fuel sources such as gas. Modern wood stoves, inserts and fireplaces are built to meet EPA standards (Environmental Protection Agency) which means that they emit very little carbon dioxide. The more seasoned wood you use the more efficient the stove will be. You'll need less wood to achieve the same heat.

These fireplaces require some maintenance and care, including ensuring they are placed away from burning materials and a screening is in place. Keeping the grate clear of debris and ash will help air flow and prevent the fire from dying out quickly. It will also help keep your indoors clean. It is important to have your stove and chimney swept at least twice a year to prevent the accumulation of creosote, which can cause a fire hazard or clog and limit ventilation.
